Chapter 396: Chapter 395: Oh no, Husband is Angry

Qu Tong returned to the villa and expanded the protective shield’s range again, enveloping a large swath of distant mountains within it.

As the Planet Master, she also sent a notice to everyone, stating that there was no need to concern themselves with any noises they heard today and to refrain from going out unnecessarily.

Although there was an isolation shield that could block the sounds and sights inside, it was still better to be safe than sorry.

The two came to an open area in the back mountain.

"Come on! Your Highness, don’t go easy on me."

Qu Tong was a bit excited.

She had been looking forward to this day for a long time!

The mark flashed, and green light flowed out, wrapping around her wrist, while her tied-up hair also turned into a beautiful, dreamy silver-white in an instant.

Si Yuting watched, and aside from her hair and appearance, Qu Tong seemed almost unchanged. However, Si Yuting felt that her entire temperament had shifted, a mix of cold detachment and a trace of world-weariness.

In the moment of his distraction, Qu Tong charged at him like an arrow released from the bowstring.

Si Yuting immediately formed a Spirit Power Barrier to defend, while also swiftly stepping back.

"Your Highness, do not underestimate me," Qu Tong’s challenging voice came from behind him.

Si Yuting caught the flying vines, and with lightning flashing between his fingers, he seriously replied, "I have never underestimated Ali."

In the past, apart from being researched upon, Qu Tong underwent the harshest survival trials. She knew best how to exploit an enemy’s weaknesses, maximize her self-preservation, and her moves were flexible and varied, taking full advantage of her strengths while always leaving a way out.

Si Yuting was no less formidable, having ample experience against humans, Star Beasts, and the Insect Clan. His strength came not only from his SSS Talent but also from his relentless training, making him the sharpest sword of the entire Empire.

As the battle progressed, Si Yuting was increasingly astounded by the intensity of Qu Tong’s spiritual power.

Normally, Thunder Attribute offensive Special Abilities should have suppressed the auxiliary type of the wood series, but Ali’s Special Ability was beyond conventional reasoning.

The vines moved freely, sharp as blades at times, soft as satin at others, sometimes erupting from the ground to block his retreat, other times weaving a net from above.

One could say that Ali was the toughest opponent he had ever faced in his life.

The more Qu Tong fought, the more she felt like she had met her match.

Truly worthy of being the Empire’s strongest combat force.

Qu Tong rubbed her somewhat numb wrists, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit, "Again."

Without waiting for Si Yuting to respond, she took the initiative to attack.

Both held nothing back, and in this situation, they could not afford to.

Their strong spiritual power collided, and the shockwaves ravaged the surrounding trees, while the nearby small animals scampered away.

As night gradually fell, neither was able to determine a victor.

The sky suddenly began to rain, soaking Qu Tong’s clothes, yet she remained alert.

A giant thunderball formed behind Si Yuting, accompanied by the roar of thunder.

For a moment, it was hard to distinguish whether it was a natural phenomenon or Si Yuting’s Special Ability had become so powerful that it could communicate with the heavens and the earth.

A flash of white light passed, illuminating Qu Tong’s face, still radiant despite being wet with rain, her clear eyes reflecting the magnificent blue-purple vista of the sky.

A loud "boom" followed.

Scenes from her past life suddenly flashed through Qu Tong’s mind.

It was also on a day of thunderstorms...

Qu Tong twisted her wrist, and the action of drawing the bow ceased, with the Special Ability-formed arrows and bow disappearing along with it.

With a thought, giant vines rose like towering trees, lifting Qu Tong towards the heavens.

Upon reaching a certain height, they bent downwards to form a hook, with Qu Tong positioned right in the middle of it. The vines swayed, reaching their maximum height and at that moment, Qu Tong leaped forcefully, detaching herself from the vines.

Her target was the gathering point of lightning.

Si Yuting’s pupils suddenly dilated, a mixture of anger and panic swiftly overtaking his heart.

"Ali! No!"

Si Yuting used all his remaining spiritual power to control the dissipation of his special ability.

Regrettably, he was still a second too late.

He watched helplessly as Ali recklessly charged into the center of the thunderstorm.

Although the part of his special ability had dissipated, the lightning he had triggered with his ability still converged to a point, filling the air with the sound of crackling and a faint groan that struck hard against his heart.

Si Yuting’s eyes were split with rage, and forcibly withdrawing his special ability caused his internal organs to suffer a severe blow, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

But he couldn’t care about that, climbing up the vines left behind by Ali, he leaped up and caught her as she fell.

His strong arms tightly protected Ali in his embrace, and he rolled to cushion her with his own body beneath her.

Just as Si Yuting braced himself for the intense pain, dozens of tendrils stretched out from the towering vines above, weaved beneath them into a huge net, with the other end tightly coiling around a tree stump.

Cradling Qu Tong in the net, Si Yuting gently bounced once and then slid down the lower end.

"I’m sorry, I worried you," said Qu Tong as she tried to get up, but her muscles were still somewhat in spasm, and she couldn’t manage to do it.

Si Yuting pressed his lips together, pulled Qu Tong back into his embrace, and strode towards the villa.

Si Yuting didn’t stop for a moment on his way, using Qu Tong’s Light Brain to swipe open the large doors of the laboratory.

"Hey! You two..." Just as Old Master Yuan was about to come out, he hadn’t reacted yet when Si Yuting had already taken Qu Tong into the inner room.

The door closed behind them, cutting off his voice.

"What’s going on?"

Old Master Yuan walked to the door, raised his hand intending to knock, but then put it down again.

Those two freaks, what could possibly be the matter?

If there really was something, he wouldn’t run away. He could call him anytime; being locked out meant it was none of his business.

He’d better go back to sleep.

As soon as Si Yuting entered the inner room, he placed Qu Tong into the Healing Chamber and immediately started the fastest and most expensive full-body scan and treatment.

The blue light scanned over Qu Tong from head to toe.

"I’m fine," Qu Tong said, pressing her hand on the program operation button.

Her special ability was still very useful. Apart from the overconsumption of spiritual power and being a bit charred and disheveled from the electricity, she wasn’t severely injured and was in no danger to her life.

The pain of being electrified had also mostly subsided on the way back.

Si Yuting glanced at the detection results, which were mostly green, before he allowed Qu Tong to sit up.

As Qu Tong sat up, she noticed the blood at the corner of Si Yuting’s lips: "Are you hurt?"

Si Yuting’s eyes were black as ink, he pursed his lips and looked at her without answering.

Seeing that Si Yuting didn’t reply, Qu Tong thought his injury was too serious and prepared to get up to let him lie down.

It was then that Si Yuting held her down and said in a deep voice, "It’s already all right."

"Really?" Qu Tong was still somewhat worried.

"Mhmm," Si Yuting replied with a single word, his demeanor cold.

Qu Tong swallowed, looking at Si Yuting’s face, cold as ice.

All the way back, Si Yuting hadn’t said a word, and it had been a long time since he treated her with the attitude he reserved for strangers.

It was as if they were back to the Si Yuting she first met, distant and indifferent, hard to approach.

Qu Tong knew, Si Yuting was angry.

Si Yuting was always tolerant towards her, never getting angry with her.

This was the first time.
